Silverstone is widely recognized for its power supplies, a premium selection specifically for compact SFX models. For lower-powered setups, I’m satisfied with their products. I've used an older Silverstone Sugo – one with a built-in 250 or 300-watt unit – alongside an i3-4130T processor and a GT1030 graphics card (previously the GTX950), along with an SSD and two 3TB hard drives, successfully for many years.

A budget of $500 would be excessively high given the specifications you’re considering. The cost of a 500GB solid state drive will be substantial, and Thunderbolt technology is costly, requiring an Intel system and likely necessitating a dedicated graphics card for gaming. Type-C connectivity is not commonly found on desktop computers and its speed can vary considerably; 10Gbps speeds are rare, with 5Gbps – equivalent to USB 3.0 – being more prevalent.

You could potentially save a small amount of money by opting for a less powerful processor like an R3, but this would only reduce the cost by approximately $50 and diminish performance from SMT technology and graphics capabilities. This would at least offset the added expense of the larger SSD.

Here’s a sample build for around $500:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G (3.5 GHz Quad-Core) – $91.99 (Walmart)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX AM4 – $119.99 (Amazon)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4-3200 – $119.99 (Amazon)
Storage: Intel 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280 SSD – $73.99 (Amazon)
Case: Silverstone SG05B-USB3.0 Mini ITX Desktop Case (Black) with 300W Power Supply – $110.00 (Amazon)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit – $98.89 (OutletPC)

Total: $614.85 (Prices include shipping, taxes and discounts). Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-02-14 12:07 EST-0500
